“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”

About: Animal lover! I’ve taken care of many different type of pets- big, small, young, and old. I have extra love and patience for seniors pets <3 I’m currently working part time with a somewhat flexible schedule. I’m available all day on the weekends but only available all day on some weekdays. I’ll make sure all food/bathroom areas are clean and home is secured before leaving. I can follow instructions, no matter how specific or silly they can be.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had two dogs that I helped care for throughout my childhood, which taught me the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. More recently, I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s cousin’s cats while house-sitting, including feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they were comfortable while their owner was away. I’ve also stayed overnight to watch my neighbors’ dogs, giving them attention, playtime, and companionship in their own home. In my current role as a caregiver for a young girl with autism, I also help care for the family’s home, including cleaning the cat’s litter box each week. My caregiving experience has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. While I may not have formal professional pet care experience yet, I take every responsibility seriously and understand how important it is to earn your trust. I will treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a flexible summer schedule with weekday mornings, evenings, and Sunday mornings available. Pet care is a priority for me, and I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated as my graduate school schedule changes. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of individualized care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, communicate openly, ask questions when needed, and always prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and potty routines, and I’m also comfortable administering medications or providing gentle care to older pets with mobility issues. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment whether I’m walking, feeding, or simply spending time with them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they feel reassured while away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it every day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, depending on what’s needed. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize the pet’s needs. Taking care of animals is not just a task for me—it’s something I look forward to and naturally fits into my everyday life. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure—no small objects or hazards around, doors and gates are checked, and routines are followed to reduce stress. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, medical needs, and personality so I can provide personalized care and maintain consistency. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely—feeding times, walk routines, or any specific care preferences. I also keep them updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes to build trust and give them peace of mind. In my own home, I only take in pets I know I can safely accommodate, and I gradually introduce them to the space to make sure they feel comfortable. Whether I’m in their space or mine, I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and full attention.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
Denise was AMAZING! My dog was very anxious when I left and Denise did a fantastic job of caring for my dog while also doing a little bit of extra cleaning because of a few accidents. Denise was always in communication and constantly updated me whenever she would walk my dog about her status, eating habits and how my dog was feeling. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker! She's awesome :) Thanks again Denise!

We feel so lucky to have found Lydia. She was wonderful with Khloe, and it was obvious she genuinely loves and understands dogs. As an added bonus, she lives close by, which makes everything so convenient. We’re looking forward to having Lydia walk Khloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker!
Aileen is a wonderful dog sitter and you can tell she understands dogs very well. She’s been walking our dog for a few days and although our dog can be very anxious and nervous, Aileen has been super patient with him and he’s been warming up to her quickly which is a great sign. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker or sitter!

Gabrielle was phenomenal. She was attentive to our highly energetic dog’s needs. She was very communicative and thorough with our dog, definitely giving us peace of mind while we were away on a trip. The updates and pictures she sent us of our dog Bruno showed how great of a time he had!

My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.

It was our first time leaving our 1 yr old Hugo and we were debating whether or not to even go on a trip. Laura was able to meet with us beforehand therefore making us feel at ease with leaving. I could tell right away she was a dog lover and that Hugo would be well taken care of. I was not wrong! She was amazing. She communicated well and provided us with daily pics of Hugo! I would 100% recommend Laura!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
